The
Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 motherboard blasts ahead of all competing platforms in
Sysmark 2007 with a score of 309 (32-bit
Win 7). Sysmark reacts well to multi-thread processors running at a high clock
speed, but what's particularly interesting is how the Intel X79 + Sandy
Bridge-E system compares to the Intel Z68/P67 + Sandy Bridge platform. The
latter is about 12 points slower in this application based benchmark than Sandy
Bridge-E!

Comparing
the GA-X79-UD5 motherboard to itself in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7,
is a mixed bag (309 vs 316). On one hand the 64-bit platform is faster, but this
isn't due to the x64 environment. Sysmark 2007 is a 32-bit application so
it's being emulated under Win 7 64-bit OS. As PCSTATS has seen in previous
tests, 32-bit applications running under 64-bit operating systems tend to
perform the same, or a hair quicker. The real impact appears to be shifting the
computer system from a modest 4GB of system memory to 16GB!
